About
Hello! I’m André Manfrini Garcia, a Senior UI/UX
designer specializing in building intuitive, high-quality web applications. I help teams turn complex ideas into clear, intuitive digital products, through design systems, strong UX thinking, and sharp UI.
With a strong foundation in frontend development and over 15 years of experience, I focus on creating
user-centered designs that are visually polished, easy to implement, and scalable.
My core strengths include UI design, UX research,
prototyping, and building and maintaining robust Design Systems in Figma. I’m particularly experienced in
designing for SaaS platforms, web applications, and digital products, always aiming to balance user needs with business goals.
Originally from Brazil and now based in Costa Mesa, California, I’m also passionate about music and analog photography. I believe that creativity, exploration, and meaningful human connections fuel great design and I bring that spirit into every project I work on.
